Pakistan was 2nd in Buffalo Milk
Production in 2010
It
seems to be good and very big when data says that Pakistan is the 5th
largest producer of milk from a herd of 50 million with average less than 1,000
litres milk per lactation period per cattle. Yet it imports value added milk
products to meet its growing demand. On comparison with Australia that has only
herd of 1.6 million that gives 5,600 litres milk per lactation period per
cattle. Just imagine if Pakistan had the same milking average of Australia,
where we would be and not being the 1st largest milk producing
country for in the world?

Is
there something seriously wrong with our farming practices or simply we don’t
have the required cattle breed to match the world average?
Reply
to the above question is surely “yes” in both cases.
1.
Our
farming practices are out-dated required to be modernized.
2.
Most
of Pakistani farmers are proud in having good quality Ravi-Nili bufalos and
Sahiwal breed cows. It is the right time for their replacement with cross breed
herd.

Buffaloes are economical and popular animal with farmers;
in Asia where around 97 percent (165.4 million) of the world's buffaloes (170.5
million) are found. India has almost 59 percent followed by Pakistan (15
percent) and China (13.8 percent) of the world's buffalo population. Thus three
most populous countries of the Asian continent own almost 87 percent of the
Asian buffalo wealth. Pakistan has best buffalo breeds with high milk yield.
The milk and meat of the buffalo is considered better than other cattle.
Eminent researchers say that Pakistani Nili Ravi origin
buffalo has been ranked the best in the world for excellent milk yield and
dairy products. It is added here that buffalo has been an integral part of
livestock agriculture in this region for over 5000 years producing milk, meat and hides.
